"A Riesling with lots of charm, according to James Suckling. It's fresh, young, and deliciously herbaceous!"

Molitor's Riesling Wehlener Klosterberg Kabinett (white cap) 2022 is a Mosel classic that opens with a pure, bright, fresh, and floral bouquet of ripe fruit, crushed slate, and lemon zest. Round and juicy on the palate, this elegant and charming Kabinett comes from a cooler site in the side valley where the estate is located. It is easy to drink and salty enough to accompany raw seafood or fish. 10% alcohol declared. Natural cork. Tasted at the estate in August 2024. 2024-2040." (Wine Advocate Robert Parker 2024)

About wine:

Intense aromas of lemon zest and star fruit, along with the freshness of garden herbs, give this dry, young, and light Riesling a lot of charm. Despite its moderate acidity, it is tangy and delicious on the palate. Only 10% alcohol. Drink now or cellar.

Note and opinion by Mr. FREDERIC B. Published on 03/31/2025

Bright, clear color with body. A floral nose and a hint of lemon. The palate is full-bodied and round, despite a hint of effervescence that quickly fades. The wine's body and suppleness are reminiscent of a semi-dry wine. It is very well made, but I find it lacks a touch of acidity and liveliness.
